Support Family as baby son has treatment for SMA in Bristol
Donation protected
My name is Paul and I am asking for your help. Friends of ours have recently found themselves in an awful situation. Isaac and Hannah's beautiful son William has been diagnosed with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) at just 6 weeks old. SMA is a rare, genetic condition causing progressive muscle weakness and wasting due to damage to motor neurons in the spinal cord, ultimately affecting voluntary muscle control and, in severe cases, breathing and swallowing. It's a progressive condition, meaning the muscle weakness and atrophy (muscle wasting) worsen over time. Isaac, Hannah and William have had to travel to a specialist children's hospital in Bristol for initial treatment, leaving Isaac unable to continue working and provide for his family. We are asking that as we continue to pray for a miracle for William, that we might also consider contributing financially to provide for their practical needs during this stressful and anxious time.
All funds raised will go directly to the family's bank account. This is to help them with rent payments back in Plymouth along with other household bills, and any incidental costs incurred while staying in Bristol. The aim of this funding is to see the family through until they are able to return to Plymouth and Isaac returns to work which may be quite some time.
